I wanted to reach out and tell you about Chris Giles. Since the moment he started working with me to find the right job Chris has given me 100% support in helping me find a job. Out of all the recruiters I have worked with Chris is the only one who would reach out to me every couple of weeks to update me on what he has coming in or if he didn’t have anything at the moment.He has kept me in the loop since the beginning. This shows me how much he cares about his job and his clients. I couldn’t have asked for a better recruiter from your company. Thank you Chris for helping me find the right job.
